What was Orlen's second-quarter adjusted core profit (EBITDA LIFO), and how did it compare to analyst expectations?

Orlen's second-quarter adjusted core profit, measured as EBITDA LIFO (excluding changes in the value of oil inventories and impairments), was 13.9 billion zlotys ($3.7 billion), which exceeded the analyst-compiled consensus expectation of 13.3 billion zlotys.

What were the main drivers behind the increase in Orlen's downstream margins in Q2?

Refining and petrochemical margins widened significantly in Q2 due to the Middle East conflict, which caused prices for refined products like diesel and jet fuel to rise much faster than the cost of crude oil feedstock; however, these gains were partially offset by a government-imposed cap on retail fuel pump prices that weighed on margins from March 31 until its phase-out in June.
